Of Wood And Blood

[Words by Pete Jay 2006]By the light of the waning moonThree sisters fly with the crowUpon wings born from esotericSpellcraft which few are to knowConverging from different directionsTo weave a fate of woeAs cloud banks obscureAll light from the worldA witch's see begins to soeOf names unspeakable and strangeBeguiling dreams with fear unknownA whisperCreeping like mist through the heartOf mortal dreamsHer name you'll never knowThis world of man's unrestFalse gods they enthroneAs the forests, moon and earthGasp a vengeful moanAt the summit the cauldron stirredEffigies of their leaders burnedA dark trinity turned to the skyCursing all who walk the pathOf selfish human prideAs the dawn breaks through the cloudsA woman child is bornWith a will of fireShe walks the earthA curse for a mortal's scornA destiny written of wood and bloodNow a young girl walks in the woodsAnd speaks to the ravens above'I shall be the undoing of men”She screamed aloudAnd a clap of thunder unrolledFrom that moment on was a destiny written of wood and bloodHer will was to know the landAnd from its growthTo master the magickAnd pass into the nether foreverMysteries held safe by the treesAs she passed into the nether foreverNow she haunts the dreams of mortal menHer presence stabbingLike a dagger of the blackest artsNevermore will they see her againYet feel her cress as their last dying breathA destiny written of wood and blood
